    These guys are the US World Cup team in 1950.
    TWICE they were ahead of Liverpool AT Anfield.

    Supposedly they racked up a 100,000 quid bar tab with the Liverpool players when they went out after the game. The Reds boys picked it up, obviously.

    There were like 3 plasterers and a "dust bin man" on the H&W team. That's what the FA Cup is all about.

    And their club is taking them all to Las Vegas as a reward for their efforts. True story.

    A great run. This format of the FA Cup, plus the concept of promotion and relegation, are the two things that I wish we'd pick up somehow in pro sports Statesside.
